Leave By Sunset
Part 7 - Dementors

The three girls made their way down the busy streets of Rome. There wasn't many cars about, only a few buses her and there because the roads were blocked by swarms of people running about, left and right. It was obvious something exciting was happening but the girls didn't care. Ullen gazed down at the gum stained floor, her face was shadowed by her two long and thick black bangs. She causiously glanced at Raif from time to time and then returned to looking at the floor.

"So where are you two going anyway?"

The silence of the group was split as Raif spoke.

"We're going to the Vatican, St.Peter's square..."

The quiet Ullen finally spoke. Her attitude had changed quite abit since she stepped into the heat of Italy. She was more quite, more cautious. It was like the climate determained her personality. Rebel looked up to notice everyone was walking the same way as them, as though they were following them. She shook her head, shook away the thought and just kept on walking. Rebel noticed cafés and restraunts were neatly lined up by the side walk. Large umbrellas, above outside tables, gave off a glimpse of shade to the travelers and the sound of water froms fountains was heard slightly above the Italian muttering. She peered into shop windows as she past them.

"Hey...wait a minute, guys."

Rebel smirked as she wondered into one of the shops. Ullen and Raif looked at each over and shrugged. They waited for a few seconds before Rebel exited the shop, three cones of freezing ice cream in her hands.

"I know how much you hate the heat, Ullen, so I thought I'd buy us all some ice cream."

Rebel smiled and handed Ullen a cone. Ullen's face lit up and she took it. She licked it greatfully, feeling instantly refreshed. She sent a smile to Rebel for a brief seconds before she continued to lick her ice cream. Rebel smirked and then looked at Raif, handing her the second cone or ice cream.

"I don't know which flavour you like, so I got you Strawberry...I hope thats ok."

Raif blinked and took it. She eyed the pink ice cream in her hand. Some of it was already melting and sliding down the edge of the cone.

"I hope you know you didn't have to."

"I know...I just don't think it would have been fair to leave you out."

Raif smirked and nodded.

"Yeah...Strawberries good, thanks."

Ullen looked up. A few minutes of total silence pasted by so quickly it felt like a matter of seconds. Her pointed ears twitched slightly, she could hear the footsteps of a large crowd running their way. Ullen watched the road with her eyes narrowed. A passing bus reflected a shimmer of sunlight into her eyes for a brief moment. She opened her eyes completely as the bus pasted to watch a whole group of young beyblade running towards St.Peter's square.

"Hmm...lets go."

Ullen looked at her two companions before darting off swiftly after the crowd. She pushed past them all ever so easily, her movements were swift, like a hunting wolf. Raif nodded to Rebel before the two ran off after the young ookami-jin. Ullen's boots lifted dust into the air as she jolted to a quick stop. The square was filled with beybladers. She could hear them laughing, talking, calling, ordering attacks, all sorts. Ullen frowned and spotted DJ expecting each beybattle. She ran over to him and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Jazz man! Whats going on?"

"A mini Rome tournament hosted by the Pope himself!"

"You eh?"

DJ laughed at Ullen's puzzled expression and patted her on the head.

"Get yourself a beyblade team, minimum of three bladers and join in!"

"Three beybladers...Hmm..."

"Don't forget a name!"

DJ smirked as her watched the black haired girl wonder over to Raif and Rebel. Ullen looked up at the two blondes with a wolfish grin on her face.

"They're having a mini tournament! I say we join in, but we're going to have to create a team."

"A team?"

Raif twitched from the thought of being on a team after what happened with her ex team, The Confused. She hissed as she demanded herself to forget about it. 'it happened once...only once. It'll never happen again. I have to let go.' Ullen folded her arms across her chest.

"...Its only temporary...only for this tournament."

Raif nodded her head slowly. "Yeah, sure, I'll join."

She smirked. "So...what about a name?"

Rebel rubbed the back of her head as she gazed up at the cloudless sky, thinking.

"Err..."

"Elementals!"

"Unoriginal..."

"Hmm..."

"Metalics!"

"Sounds to much like the band, Metallica."

"How about Storm Riders?"

"...No..."

"Shadow Stalkers?"

"Ugh, no...thats probably already taken."

"Destructors?"

"Nahh..."

The three continued their convosation for quite a while, pondering every possibility of a team name. Rebel snapped her fingers together, grasping the attention of Ullen and Raif.

"Dementors!"

Ullen and Raif looked down, thinking. Raif looked up with hands on her hips and a smirk on her face.

"Sounds good to me..."

"Yeah...Dementors..." She grinned.
